Ohio’s attorney general will appeal a ruling that struck down the most far-reaching of the state’s laws restricting abortion

Ohio’s attorney general said Wednesday he would appeal an October injunction that prohibited state officials from enforcing a six-week abortion ban, according to The Associated Press. Republican Dave Yost filed a notice of appeal Friday seeking to overturn a ruling that upheld state voters’ amendment to enshrine abortion rights.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is pushing for an appeals court to reverse a judge’s ruling that all portions of a state law restricting abortions are unconstitutional. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Christian Jenkins ruled in October that Ohio’s “Heartbeat Act” violates state law following the passage of Issue 1

Unlike the Ohio Attorney General, this court will uphold the Ohio Constitution’s protection of abortion rights,” the judge wrote in his decision. “The will of the people of Ohio will be given effect.”
